8.10.5 IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup
A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a
“private IP address” in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a
device. A link-local unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10.
Use this screen to configure the interface’s link-local address and default gateway. Click the link
next to IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup in the IPv6 Configuration screen to display the screen
as shown next.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
Link-Local
Address
Manually configure a static IPv6 link-local address for the interface.
Default

Set the default gateway IPv6 address for the interface. When an interface cannot find a
routing information for a frame’s destination, it forwards the packet to the default gateway.
